Title: "Eye Level" a Hook original
Post by: Hook on May 25, 2014, 08:42:30 PM
I've had a few in the works over the last week and just now getting to finish them. Since I set up GHS (GuerillaHook Studios) in side while the family is away I unpacked the MXL 990 condenser & tried out the phantom power, it works.
1 uke
1 vocal
1 bass
1 melodica
1 drums (stereo) YDD60+35

Eye Level
written & performed by Hook
I'm not sure if we all get a minute
And if I get mine will I even be in it

I like to imagine
 that I'll take a step up
But even then
everything is still eye level

Is it influence and osmosis
Or intentional deception

chorus

We all have desires
And there's always someone to answer to
And I can feel betrayed
I can be completely let down
I Can hold you accountable
for the way things all turned out

chorus

I can never know for sure if your inspirations Real
Your triumphs in my tragedy that's just the way I feel

bridge

chorus

Great song Hook, the drums sound really good and some nice variation on patterns throughout.

This has a real strong melody created by the Uke and bass, and the slightly languid vocal suits perfectly the mood created by the music.

The melodica parts just top it all for me.

wow! vocals are so smooth - you're using the condenser yeah?

The whole frikkin thing is so smooth.
Even the melodica - The devils own instrument (every one should be smashed and recycled as an apologetic old peoples colostomy bag).

Super super - even the colostomy bag.

Ooh... this is really sweet. Got a slight Mariachi vibe from those beautiful uke chords and runs. Great composing and performance alike. Playful yet deep. Love it.

Just the sound of the track is good. And I do like how the uke sounds as well and that melodica filling in was a nice touch. I never woulda thunk to use it, but it works very well.

I must say my man you are killing that uke.
Your play is so smooth on it.

This is another sweet cut with a silky smooth vocal.
